The Alcatel-Lucent 1850 Transport Service Switch (TSS-5) is a compact, modular, Packet-Optical Transport
switch serving TDM and packet traffic from T1/E1 to Gigabit Ethernet (GigE). More than a traditional multiservice provisioning platform (MSPP), the Alcatel-Lucent 1850 TSS-5 supports pseudowire emulation edge to
edge (PWE3) for T1/E1 circuit emulation services (CES) over Ethernet uplinks. This combination of pseudowire
support of CES, native Ethernet transport and native TDM transport with Ethernet over SONET/SDH allows
service providers to transform their networks with a mix of SONET/SDH and Ethernet appropriate to their
service profile. Service providers can gracefully migrate their TDM traffic to Packet-Optical Transport using this
compact, cost-effective platform.

Particularly suitable for mobility-backhaul

applications and TDM, and Ethernet
services aggregation in general, the
Alcatel-Lucent 1850 TSS-5 is further
applicable to any market where TDM
and Carrier Ethernet services coexist.
An integral part of the broader
Alcatel-Lucent 1850 TSS portfolio, the
Alcatel-Lucent 1850 TSS-5 operates in
the access/aggregation layer and feeds
into higher-capacity Alcatel-Lucent
Packet-Optical Transport products,
such as the Alcatel-Lucent 1850 TSS-100
and Alcatel-Lucent 1850 TSS-320.
